The Sunni extremist group currently wreaking havoc across Syria and Iraq announced it has established an Islamic caliphate across the two countries. Here's what you need to know.

This is an old Article, but thought it would be important to read especially what is happening today....
Sometimes known as “hell on earth”.
From what I have been reading, sounds like hell would be better...can’t find what things they don’t permit...maybe they permit nothing....
Glenn Beck was the first one to expose the desire for a Caliphate in the Middle East, I believe that was in 2009. Glenn has since gone downhill...
They want a caliphate so they can transport nuclear materials without being detected.

I remember when he started talking about this, but quit listening to him because of the reason you gave...
Thank you again...I’m going to quit posting for a few days, I’ve got so much on my mind today...thank you FRiend....
I believe the they do permit wife-beating.
I remember reading something the other day about this school board member told the muslims that the school wasn’t going to do something they wanted, and this muslim woman said to him: “Why not? We are going to be enforcing things soon anyways...”
This is what this reminds me of....
Did you notice that Obama denounced ISIS for killing innocent Muslims but he did not even mentioned the murders of Christians? This was a deliberate sin of omission just as he has been looking the other way for months as ISIS crossed the international border into Iraq which is an act of war. He has never mentioned the genocide of Christians that has been going on for many months. But he did mention the Crusades as he was speaking before Christian religious leaders. Christians have to be reminded of the Crusades which happened a thousand years ago but everybody else gets a pass.
I hear you. Twice in the last few days I’ve posted a comment on the wrong thread!
Yes - and now those in Washington want to import even more of them.
I hear you on that....have you heard what McLame is saying?
That Russia is wrong in doing what they are doing, and he was one of them along with obuma, shillary, shoveling guns and ammo into Syria from Benghazi....
I can’t believe what I’m reading, and I can’t believe what I’m hearing today....
It appears that Obama wants to remove the more secular established leaders like Mubarrak in Egypt, Kadaffi in Libya and Assad in Syria to be replaced by his beloved muslim extremists.
The Shah of Iran was displaced during democrat Jimmy Carter’s presidency. I have often wondered what was REALLY behind that, since Carter was so quick to drop a very long ally to the United States.
To start with, of what persuasion (Shia, Sunni, Wahabbist, etc) would the Caliph be? If one sect claims to rule, doesn't it make instant enemies of the rest?
Different countries in the region have different rules for obedience, some stricter than others. Some permit women to veil only lightly, to travel or shop unattended, to work or attend school. These are crimes in other places, with penalties ranging from scolding to stoning-to-death. A unified standard will make even more enemies.
Muslim countries in the ME already have governments, whether elected or hereditary, and why should they cede so much power to an outside entity (the Caliph)? They sign their own death warrants by allowing it.
I think if ISIS attempts this, they'll have a fight on their hands. We'll see just how monolithic the Islamic world is.
